I'm working on a model for my architecture class and I'm focussing on the model more and listening to you guys and soon as Erick said "midget with a knife" I burst into laughter
Absolutely wonderful! Another adventure with Eric and Kyde! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! You made me very happy today! Eric, you had to be a train in your previous life, because your sound of a train in the tunnel was so real!
Lived in a house with only a bathtub for about 6 months while the shower was being installed, and holy cow is that hard! You don't realize how convenient a shower is until you don't have one! Regarding the Izu Peninsula, the waterfalls remind me a lot of New England, specifically the waterfalls and hiking trails of central New Hampshire where I partly lived growing up :D When I move to southern Kanto next year, Izu Peninsula will be top of the list to visit!
Hi! This was the first video that we ever saw of you guys, and its the one that got us hooked to your channel! We found your channel after our first trip to Japan, and watching your videos really motivated us to go back. We actually went to Izu on our most recent trip just because of this video, but the largest waterfall was closed. Thanks for making great videos, and inspiring us to travel and try to make our own too!
Oh bummer the waterfall was closed! Hopefully you still had a good time down there, it's pretty uncommon for tourists to make it down to Izu, but we were really happy we made the trip. Glad you guys found our videos and they have motivated a return trip! -E
You guys are THE MOST WONDERFUL thing that ever happened to UA-cam. You're like a television series, but way better! From the heart, thank you so much for everything you do.
Thankyou for taking me on a great adventure Kyde and Eric. I may be sitting the in Australian heat, but you both always transport me to another realm with each of your videos. Love your work and can't wait to see where you take me to next!
Chestnuts can be flat, often there will be two or three of them inside the prickly ball. The flat one was in the middle of two others, so the shape is squished. When you heat them (Chestnuts roasting by an open fire) they will steam, soften and split open.
This made my day! I look so forward to your videos! You guys have a natural talent for this. I tell people about your videos all the time in hopes they enjoy as much as I do. I really hope you guys get to a point where you can produce travel videos for a living, I regularly check in on Patreon in hopes you've met the Europe goal :)
I had to pause the video after the first 5 minutes because I wanted to comment that I love the quality of the video image. It looks soo clear and the frame rate is so smooth, I love it!!!...ok, now back to finish watching, love you guys!!! =D
Kyde and Eric But haven't you guys change the speed of the video at all? or used the function to minimize bumps? I notice the same thing sense the last video on BK, but I just thought it was a speed thing...
Ricardo Llamas Well, we have always shot in 60FPS, but UA-cam just recently started displaying in it so I started rendering the files in full 60FPS instead of 29.whateverFPS. My new render settings are of a higher bitrate too to make up for the extra frames. But these files are really big, this was over 14GB and took 2 and a half days just to render. Not sure how I can keep that up! -Eric
I just found this channel today. You're videos are great and I've been on a Kyde and Eric marathon this whole afternoon. I stopped for moment to comment because at 13:56 Kyde was pointing out on a map where the two of you were at. She "walked" past the "You are here" dot and said "now we''re around here". For some reason I found that hilarious. Too funny. :D :D :D
+Warren Yazzie Glad you found us! Haha, I noticed that too when I edited it and laughed. Sometimes it can be easy to miss things when shooting, obviously. Whoops! -E
Man this is great. You guys are right up there with AbroadIn Japan. This is a quality standard that a lot of Japanese youtubers should follow. Keep em comin!
Those tourist spot stamps are catching on in Taiwan, too. I think they originated from Japanese temple pilgrimage circuits so a pilgrim could prove that he visited all the temples in the circuit.
Hi guys, great to see a new video out! Every time I watch one of your videos I wish I could be there in Japan sharing your experience, especially the food! Keep making them!
The prickly calybium or capsule you picked up at the waterfall is a chestnut, not the water chestnut variety but the "roasting by an open fire variety."
Another great post guys, well done! I've been on a cool local train in Gifu with the same huge windows and great sight lines, it was the best damn thing.
Kyde and Eric Yeah I would have. It totally makes me jealous. I desperately want to travel again. I'm sorta tied to my hometown here due to a medical issue. I'm perfectly healthy but only thanks to a monthly IV infusion of a drug that's crazy expensive and I would never be able to afford if I left my home Province's 'Pharmacare' program. So I am stuck between government eligibility requirements and the treatment schedule. I'm determined to find a way around it, I haven't found it yet though. Maybe remission of my condition due to sheer force of will?
Kyde and Eric Crazy for sure. In a way it's own adventure, and I've learned a lot... but I'm getting tired of it and want to explore the outside world not the inside world.
1:15:28 It is Kabu(カブ). In English, Turnip. The orange tiny eggs on the spoon look like Tarako or Mentaiko. It is popular food to put on the rice Gohan. The misterious condiment with bitter sabor on the Soba tray may be Myouga.
Yay new video! I'm so glad it's a long one too. Went and made dinner to go along with this. It's hard looking at all of your food and not being able to try it :(
Kyde and Eric Lol, thanks for asking, I made some vegetable soup, it turned out a little bland so I need to change the recipe next time. By the way, I really love both of your personalities and videos. I watch a lot of travel-type videos online and you two are definitely my favorite :)
It's cool seeing different angles and shots of the town and locations! I went there in Golden Week and Shimoda was a bit more alive lol. If I went again I'd do the whole peninsula with a good week and a car to fully explore!
I love your videos!!! In Argentina we have also the seven waterfalls in the province of Misiones. Is one of the Seven Wonders of world. With your videos I want go to Japan. Greetings from Argentina!
My favourite part about this episode : at about 17:30 Kyde talks about the length of a snake and gives it, simply, in the metric system ! Adventures in the world did that to her, an American ! That's a bright girl !
Was playing football with a buddy who had all those cool looking hedgehog balls in his yard. Japanese chestnut trees. Landed on one of these with my palm face down into 4 of them. OUCH!
i smile every time i see a new video by you guys :) plus it was a long one, so i could keep my word about just one more video before bed. Thanks for sharing! ya'll rock my socks.
Ice cream vending machines aren't that common in Europe. You might find soft ice machines, but not packaged ice cream. I'm surprised you don't know chestnuts though. Throughout the winter time here you see stands everywhere in the cities selling them. 13:55 the map says "you are here", not where Kyde points...
Half way through and it's already an awesome vid guys, well done as usual. I've finally gotten a job in Japan, so hopefully my wife and I can start making Jvlogs come April about our adventures over there ^_^
I had to wash like that for about a year because my shower head was not working. The faucet part worked at least, but I still had to do the cup/bucket thing. Oh, and last year all the pipes froze (even the hot water) except the hot water in the bathroom sink! Now that was an adventure.
Somewhere on Izu is where Nichiren Daishonin was exiled for a period of time. Wasabi has to have cold clean water cycle through to grow. It is extremely difficult to grow and it takes years to be harvested. YES! There are 6 or more poisonous snakes and vipers in Japan. So don't mess with 'em. I have a kind of scrub cloth. Made out of the kind of plastic that they make dish scrubbers out of. That has oblong ring handles on either end, and the 'cloth' is almost a meter long. As long as there is water. I would have a liquid soap bottle with me. It would take 5 or ten minutes and I would be done, and ready for the onsen. My Jr. High's mascot was an Alligator . We were Tiffin East Gators. The yellow veg was pickled Daikon.
You should hear the pure enthrallment of which occurs as soon a get ping notifying me of a new video, to see that it is you guys. You guys mean a lot to me, you guys epitomize of what i want to do with my life, travel the world, reference quotes which the majority of people will not understand and wear mad (my lingo for amazing) t-shirts, Eric. Keep it you guys! much love from a England Sorry if i said "you guys" excessively.
I am loving the videos. I have lived in Japan for 14 years and I share your wonder, surprise and bemusement at this crazy country! Shimoda,,,,was the town where the first American Ambassador lived,,,Townsend??? Whatever, I am enjoying your adventures,,,,Stay wonderous,,,,thankfully, I still am!! Please keep the videos coming! My wife, Yuki has enjoyed your takes on life here. She has never really thought about what a Gaijin has to go through! Oh,,,,and we are going to Yamanashi because we watched your video! Thank you people! ;)
+webbyinjapan Awesome, really happy to hear you have enjoyed our videos! It's fun to hear Japanese people are getting to see their own country though the eyes of a foreigner, I love that. Enjoy Yamanashi! -Eric
Not sure if someone's answered these already. I tried reading through the comments but got distracted. Yes, Japan has poisonous snakes. They make a type of alcohol with the habu snake by putting it in a jar and just filling it with the ingredients. It's meant to be very strong and good for men's libido (Luke Holloway did a video on it.) I think that bone may be from a horse. Ps I love your videos :)
Great stuff again, guys. Wish you made more videos like this that were around 1 hour more frequently. Considering i'd love to go to Japan, your videos are about the closest thing I can find to actually experiencing it. There is something about the vlog style that is much more personable as compared to a documentary with cheesy monotonous music in the background and some dude in a suit commenting in a condescending/ultra formal way. I'd love to work in Japan at some point in my life. How did you guys find meeting friends in Japan? Do you have American friends or are they mostly Japanese?
Jamal Smith In our next video, Eric is going to wear a suit and I will be condescending! haha! That's never gonna happen!Meeting friends has basically happened through work for me. I have made a few friends through those friends. We have a mixture of foreign and Japanese friends. -Kyde
First time commenting! My boyfriend and I enjoy watching your videos. It reminds us of our amazing trip to Japan.Btw, the yellow pickle thing is a sweet/sour daikon. and the white thing is probably pickled turnip. Fish eggs are meant to be eaten with rice. Think of it like furikake/umeboshi on rice :) Thank you for your videos! I will be contributing through patreon soon :) ps: this is random but i recommend going to "Koukaibou" in Tokyo for awesome ramen!
MrNyantoast I am so happy that we get to be your first comment!!! Great info! Please keep that coming. There is so much to absorb here and it's great to have experienced people like you to help us understand! I really wish I had put the fish eggs on the rice now! Dang it! Hope to see you on Patreon soon and give you even more stuff to enjoy! We will check out Koukaibou because it's totally soup weather now! -Kyde
Kyde and Eric No problem! Your videos are informative as well! I'm a Nisei, but I know very little about what it's like, living in Japan..Hopefully we can live there in the near future. My boyfriend is looking forward to see Melonkuma. Hehe. I contributed under a different name :)
another great video,or movie ! love the feature length videos guys,can i ask....What editing equipment do you use for your videos please?,I like the way your videos are done and i am looking to upgrade for my channel,Hope your both well. John
It makes total sense that Izu is the southern-most point to view the Pacific Ocean because from there heading toward Osaka, you are actually heading east, not south.
Two quick questions for Kyde, one, did you get a 4 year degree to teach English or a TEFL cert? And was the job hunt in japan for your initial move there very difficult? (i lied, three questions) do you guys have any advice for someone who wants to move to Japan as an English teacher?
I love your videos! best of wishes from Ecuador!!! here in my country we also have a 7 waterfall route, so maybe there is a real thing going there with the number 7
You guys are just ridicously awesome. I think you guys are so perfect together. You make me feel like I am hanging with you when I watch your videos. I live in boring ass ohio and there isn't much todo in the winter uhg! so watching your videos really makes my day more manageable. eric reminds me of my brother a lot. I just want to come over there and hang with ya. oh kyde when you were showing us the map on the hike there was a you are here arrow LOL didnt know if you seen it cause you pointed about a inch down. anyhow please keep traveling if I weren't on disability I would donate to ya. thanks scot
Hi Scot, thanks so much! We are really happy you are enjoying the videos and are excited to make more for you! Don't worry about not being able to contribute, we will continue to make the videos free for everyone. And good eye, Kyde totally missed the you are here arrow, haha. -Eric
This was a fun video :) I always like your guys' travel / adventure videos. That waterfall hike seemed Really cool. We didn't really get a sense of it in the video, but how long were you guys Actually hiking and stuff for. If I ever get to that part of Japan, that seems like something I would want to put on a list, but I don't know if I would be able to do like a 8 hr hike, just as an example. Thanks for the long video! Always look forward to these :) Look forward to the next adventure! :D
keandric 2 I want to say that we hiked for 6-8 hours. That's kind of usual for us. The hike was no hard at all. I would say that if you can walk, you can do this one! -Kyde
I watch your videos late at night which gives the experience a dreamlike quality. Did i dream it or did I see it? The little doll saying you are the ball lickers just cracked me up! An altered state of consciousness was behind that line.
what the hell. I washed myself in a bucket before including hair and it takes like 15-20 minutes and isnt at all a problem. And my hair is longer than yours Kyde. Unless you meant all the watter you had was just one bucket. then you might need to be carefull. i guess what im asking is could you splash watter? if yes then the bucket is not an issue.
When you were at the coast, were there any interesting organisms in the water, or was the water barren? Love these videos, please keep them coming! ☆v☆
btw, do you guys still hang out with your friends, from back when Kayde started to work in Kumagaya? Or will do you guys plan to make more videos with friends you know in Japan from time to time? Just wondering! have a good day guys! Loved the video. Learned something about Wasabi, that was interesting on how they grow.
StudioSambodia Yeah, we still hang out with them. Had some over for Thanksgiving! Emma and Tommy moved back to Sweden, but they are coming to visit at the end of the month! Friends Forever! -Kyde
I saw a recent vid about that very same wasabi cultivation area where a former salaryman quit his job to restore it because he wanted to revitalize the economy of the area and restore the production of wasabi in the area. Last year Quinlan, from Go North Japan, went on a wild wasabi hunting expedition in Tohoku and showed how the hunters foraged for wasabi (with, of course, ecologically sound methodology).
Second time watching this, still good. You 2 are so funny, the things you say, like "the hammock soiled it self" and people are gonna eat puzzels". I should just write everything up and make a book called; What Kyde and Eric said. :D Love your videos.
Persimmons sometimes don't have seeds/pits because they make the fruit harder to eat. Also, if you take the seed/pit of a sweet persimmon, and plant it, any fruit that grows from that seed will most likely be sour, like Crab Apples. To get sweet persimmons, you have to use a clipping from another sweet persimmon tree, and get it to grow into another sapling. TOO LONG DIDN'T READ They don't use the seeds/pits to grow the trees, and the seeds are gross, so they just bred some of 'em to not have seeds.
you guys are by far the best Japanese vloggers / adventurers. you guys don't talk all dull and infomercial like. keep up the great work!
Rodney Routt Thanks! We will! -Kyde
@@kydeanderic This is still true, a decade later!
I'm working on a model for my architecture class and I'm focussing on the model more and listening to you guys and soon as Erick said "midget with a knife" I burst into laughter
SimVibes hahaha! -Kyde
omg ..i so need this today!!! and its a LONG ONE !!
OROCHIMARU UWABAMI You're welcome! -Eric
OROCHIMARU UWABAMI Glad you enjoyed it! -Kyde
Absolutely wonderful! Another adventure with Eric and Kyde! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! You made me very happy today! Eric, you had to be a train in your previous life, because your sound of a train in the tunnel was so real!
Maike Vogt-Lueerssen I like thinking that he was a train in a past life! It's cute! -Kyde
my favorite of your videos, because it has everything I like: mountain/forest, food and river/waterfall. great!
moneteism Awesome! -Eric
Lived in a house with only a bathtub for about 6 months while the shower was being installed, and holy cow is that hard! You don't realize how convenient a shower is until you don't have one!
Regarding the Izu Peninsula, the waterfalls remind me a lot of New England, specifically the waterfalls and hiking trails of central New Hampshire where I partly lived growing up :D When I move to southern Kanto next year, Izu Peninsula will be top of the list to visit!
Haha, yea, we stayed in some places in the UK without showers. It's madness. -E
Hi! This was the first video that we ever saw of you guys, and its the one that got us hooked to your channel! We found your channel after our first trip to Japan, and watching your videos really motivated us to go back. We actually went to Izu on our most recent trip just because of this video, but the largest waterfall was closed.

Oh bummer the waterfall was closed! Hopefully you still had a good time down there, it's pretty uncommon for tourists to make it down to Izu, but we were really happy we made the trip. Glad you guys found our videos and they have motivated a return trip! -E
You guys are THE MOST WONDERFUL thing that ever happened to UA-cam. You're like a television series, but way better! From the heart, thank you so much for everything you do.
Jedimax01 Thank you so much! -Eric
Jedimax01 From our hearts, thanks for liking us! -Kyde
Way too many awesome and quotable bits in this vid to even comment on without writing a short book about it. Loved it.
Hahaha, thanks!
You guys are the best adventurers! It is my honour to meet you guys in Japan.
Mohamed Alloghani Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos! -Eric
Thankyou for taking me on a great adventure Kyde and Eric. I may be sitting the in Australian heat, but you both always transport me to another realm with each of your videos. Love your work and can't wait to see where you take me to next!
Anthony Marcos Thanks! Next we will take you to Kyushu! -Eric
I've watched this a good four times now. You guys are the best. Thank you for showing us!
***** Thanks for enjoying! -Kyde

Pretzelcrumbs I love your screen name! Wow! Thanks for spreading the word and we hope that we get more viewers like you! -Kyde
I had to pause the video after the first 5 minutes because I wanted to comment that I love the quality of the video image. It looks soo clear and the frame rate is so smooth, I love it!!!...ok, now back to finish watching, love you guys!!! =D
Carlos Rangel That is awesome to hear! We didn't change any equipment, but UA-cam's new quality is great! -Eric
Kyde and Eric But haven't you guys change the speed of the video at all? or used the function to minimize bumps?
I notice the same thing sense the last video on BK, but I just thought it was a speed thing...
Ricardo Llamas
Well, we have always shot in 60FPS, but UA-cam just recently started displaying in it so I started rendering the files in full 60FPS instead of 29.whateverFPS. My new render settings are of a higher bitrate too to make up for the extra frames. But these files are really big, this was over 14GB and took 2 and a half days just to render. Not sure how I can keep that up! -Eric
I agree the new rendering is amazing, I bumped it up to 1080 from 720.
Looked like i could reach into the TV. Phenomenal
I just found this channel today. You're videos are great and I've been on a Kyde and Eric marathon this whole afternoon.

Jaafar Kaoussarani Thanks!! Will do! -Eric
Kyde and Eric Just ease up on the spiders please 0_0
Jaafar Kaoussarani No promises! Haha. -Eric
Great video guys, I was disappointed that you were posting less frequently but all is forgiven seeing the great content you guys are now putting up.
WanderingJim We are amping things up, but it takes time to get quality stuff to you! -Kyde
Those tourist spot stamps are catching on in Taiwan, too. I think they originated from Japanese temple pilgrimage circuits so a pilgrim could prove that he visited all the temples in the circuit.
CNVideos Ah, interesting. -Eric
Hi guys, great to see a new video out! Every time I watch one of your videos I wish I could be there in Japan sharing your experience, especially the food! Keep making them!
Thanks so much! We will keep at it! -Eric
I just love these hour+ videos!
Mike Adams More on the way! -Eric
Hooray! Love you guys. =)
wow Japan is beautiful! I'd love to explore Japan's mountains and back-country
greetings from Texas
John Aniceto It really is a beautiful place! -Eric
The prickly calybium or capsule you picked up at the waterfall is a chestnut, not the water chestnut variety but the "roasting by an open fire variety."
Eric is so tall that at 27:25 he could just lean over the river and gently place all three of his wish stones on top of the mound.
haha
Another great post guys, well done! I've been on a cool local train in Gifu with the same huge windows and great sight lines, it was the best damn thing.
romepaysoff Nice, I want to find more of those! I love trains now. -Eric
So much for turning my computer off for the night to rest my very tired, achy eyes!
Oh, WATERFALLS! So gorgeous!!
Yesica1993 Yeah!! -Kyde
I'm a biologist with a specialization in plants (botany) so I love the "strange plants" part. It looked like a great trip.
ikaruseijin01 I wish you could have been there then! You would have loved it! -Kyde
Kyde and Eric Yeah I would have. It totally makes me jealous. I desperately want to travel again. I'm sorta tied to my hometown here due to a medical issue. I'm perfectly healthy but only thanks to a monthly IV infusion of a drug that's crazy expensive and I would never be able to afford if I left my home Province's 'Pharmacare' program. So I am stuck between government eligibility requirements and the treatment schedule. I'm determined to find a way around it, I haven't found it yet though. Maybe remission of my condition due to sheer force of will?
ikaruseijin01 Wow, that is a crazy predicament! I really hope it gets sorted and you stay healthy and adventurous! -Kyde
Kyde and Eric Crazy for sure. In a way it's own adventure, and I've learned a lot... but I'm getting tired of it and want to explore the outside world not the inside world.
This is the first video I saw of you guys, and I loved it.
Yay!
Finally a new 1hour episode! I love these long videos so much
Yes~! You guys are the greatest people out there. Thank you for staying awesome :D
Jacob Foster That's the only thing we can do! -Kyde
The wasabi field was very interesting. I've heard of man-made irrigation systems in the mountains, but not one that is purely natural. Pretty neat!
We stayed at the Ryokan next to the giant waterfall! Beautiful!😀
Oh nice! -Eric
1:15:28 It is Kabu(カブ). In English, Turnip.
The orange tiny eggs on the spoon look like Tarako or Mentaiko. It is popular food to put on the rice Gohan.
The misterious condiment with bitter sabor on the Soba tray may be Myouga.
43:30 for sure the best part of the whole movie :D hahaha loved it good footage thanks for taking us a long with you on your trip :)
***** Haha, glad I didn't cut that shot then! Thanks! -Eric
I need a sticker for my car with the phrase "Spicy Shit Happens", thanks.
can't wait to visit japan you guys are my inspiration!
Logan Schultz Awesome! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! -Eric
The jaw bone is from a plant eater. Love the basalts around the falls, so neat
Yay new video! I'm so glad it's a long one too. Went and made dinner to go along with this. It's hard looking at all of your food and not being able to try it :(
TalesofTimeoxo What did you make? -Kyde
Kyde and Eric Lol, thanks for asking, I made some vegetable soup, it turned out a little bland so I need to change the recipe next time. By the way, I really love both of your personalities and videos. I watch a lot of travel-type videos online and you two are definitely my favorite :)
TalesofTimeoxo When vegetable soup is good it can be on point! Good luck with the recipe. Glad you enjoy the videos, we'll keep making them! -Eric
Kyde and Eric I'm looking forward to them!
I love you guys please promise you will post more videos,i enjoyed all!
It's always good to watch you guys having some fun. Nice video.
***** Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! -Kyde
It's cool seeing different angles and shots of the town and locations! I went there in Golden Week and Shimoda was a bit more alive lol. If I went again I'd do the whole peninsula with a good week and a car to fully explore!
nigelo92 Good thinking! -Kyde
I love your videos!!! In Argentina we have also the seven waterfalls in the province of Misiones. Is one of the Seven Wonders of world. With your videos I want go to Japan. Greetings from Argentina!
Cyntia Herrera We want to go to Argentina! Wanna switch? -Kyde
Kyde and Eric I wish I could! Definitely you must come to my country.!!
My favourite part about this episode : at about 17:30 Kyde talks about the length of a snake and gives it, simply, in the metric system ! Adventures in the world did that to her, an American ! That's a bright girl !
Jonathan Blanchet Metric is where it's at! -Kyde
Was playing football with a buddy who had all those cool looking hedgehog balls in his yard. Japanese chestnut trees. Landed on one of these with my palm face down into 4 of them. OUCH!
Gotta watch out for those balls.
i smile every time i see a new video by you guys :) plus it was a long one, so i could keep my word about just one more video before bed. Thanks for sharing! ya'll rock my socks.
RavenNight Nice socks! -Kyde
An awesome adventure, and (as usual) wonderful videography.
Robert Piers Thanks so much! -Eric
Woo! I freaking love these long videos and Coolish taste pretty awesome. Kyde spider stick had me in stitches. Can't wait to see your next adventure!
LancerJak I am betting the spiders can carry bigger sticks! -Kyde
Ice cream vending machines aren't that common in Europe. You might find soft ice machines, but not packaged ice cream. I'm surprised you don't know chestnuts though. Throughout the winter time here you see stands everywhere in the cities selling them.
13:55 the map says "you are here", not where Kyde points...
Great adventures ♥️ kept me busy for the past hour
Freddy Lon Yay! -Eric
You two are way too funny! You crack me up with the teeth brushing scene.
Cheers from San Francisco:-)
***** That scene cracked me up too! -Kyde
Will be trotting to Japan with my boyfriend in 2 months, and we'll be spending a few nights in Izu!!
Thanks for the amazing vid!
shenaaz mohamed Make sure you get dinner before 6pm! haha -Kyde
Half way through and it's already an awesome vid guys, well done as usual. I've finally gotten a job in Japan, so hopefully my wife and I can start making Jvlogs come April about our adventures over there ^_^
David Knox Awesome! -Kyde
I only watched about like 2-3 minutes of this video and i already fell in love with you guys xD
Frances Lazaro Yay! Thank you! Enjoy! -Eric
Frances Lazaro
I had to wash like that for about a year because my shower head was not working. The faucet part worked at least, but I still had to do the cup/bucket thing.
Oh, and last year all the pipes froze (even the hot water) except the hot water in the bathroom sink! Now that was an adventure.
Yesica1993 Wow! I'm glad none of that has happened to us! Shower working now? -Kyde
Kyde and Eric Yep! Makes me grateful for the little things, I guess!
i love the passive-aggressive back and forth, it's the true reality of traveling with a loved one
Somewhere on Izu is where Nichiren Daishonin was exiled for a period of time.
Wasabi has to have cold clean water cycle through to grow. It is extremely difficult to grow and it takes years to be harvested.
YES! There are 6 or more poisonous snakes and vipers in Japan. So don't mess with 'em.

My Jr. High's mascot was an Alligator . We were Tiffin East Gators.
The yellow veg was pickled Daikon.
The little man statue with the fish is the Yebisu beer mascot!
+spindext ah, good call! -Eric
You should hear the pure enthrallment of which occurs as soon a get ping notifying me of a new video, to see that it is you guys. You guys mean a lot to me, you guys epitomize of what i want to do with my life, travel the world, reference quotes which the majority of people will not understand and wear mad (my lingo for amazing) t-shirts, Eric. Keep it you guys! much love from a England
Sorry if i said "you guys" excessively.
Conor Edwards Haha, thanks so much! I hope you get a chance to get out and explore too, it's lots of fun! -Eric
Conor Edwards Look, you guy! You didn't say it enough! Thanks for enjoying the videos and we hope you get more pings and excitement! -Kyde
I am loving the videos. I have lived in Japan for 14 years and I share your wonder, surprise and bemusement at this crazy country! Shimoda,,,,was the town where the first American Ambassador lived,,,Townsend??? Whatever, I am enjoying your adventures,,,,Stay wonderous,,,,thankfully, I still am!! Please keep the videos coming! My wife, Yuki has enjoyed your takes on life here. She has never really thought about what a Gaijin has to go through! Oh,,,,and we are going to Yamanashi because we watched your video! Thank you people! ;)
+webbyinjapan Awesome, really happy to hear you have enjoyed our videos! It's fun to hear Japanese people are getting to see their own country though the eyes of a foreigner, I love that. Enjoy Yamanashi! -Eric
Not sure if someone's answered these already. I tried reading through the comments but got distracted. Yes, Japan has poisonous snakes. They make a type of alcohol with the habu snake by putting it in a jar and just filling it with the ingredients. It's meant to be very strong and good for men's libido (Luke Holloway did a video on it.) I think that bone may be from a horse.
Ps I love your videos :)
globe1987 Thanks for the info! -Kyde
Great stuff again, guys. Wish you made more videos like this that were around 1 hour more frequently. Considering i'd love to go to Japan, your videos are about the closest thing I can find to actually experiencing it. There is something about the vlog style that is much more personable as compared to a documentary with cheesy monotonous music in the background and some dude in a suit commenting in a condescending/ultra formal way. I'd love to work in Japan at some point in my life. How did you guys find meeting friends in Japan? Do you have American friends or are they mostly Japanese?
Jamal Smith In our next video, Eric is going to wear a suit and I will be
condescending! haha! That's never gonna happen!Meeting friends has
basically happened through work for me. I have made a few friends
through those friends. We have a mixture of foreign and Japanese
friends. -Kyde
everything is still green on 20th of october ...wow

braileanul Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! -Eric

Kyde and Eric Aww! -Kyde

Kacey Ng Hahaha

First time commenting! My boyfriend and I enjoy watching your videos. It reminds us of our amazing trip to Japan.Btw, the yellow pickle thing is a sweet/sour daikon. and the white thing is probably pickled turnip. Fish eggs are meant to be eaten with rice. Think of it like furikake/umeboshi on rice :) Thank you for your videos! I will be contributing through patreon soon :)
ps: this is random but i recommend going to "Koukaibou" in Tokyo for awesome ramen!
MrNyantoast I am so happy that we get to be your first comment!!! Great info! Please keep that coming. There is so much to absorb here and it's great to have experienced people like you to help us understand! I really wish I had put the fish eggs on the rice now! Dang it! Hope to see you on Patreon soon and give you even more stuff to enjoy! We will check out Koukaibou because it's totally soup weather now! -Kyde
Kyde and Eric No problem! Your videos are informative as well! I'm a Nisei, but I know very little about what it's like, living in Japan..Hopefully we can live there in the near future. My boyfriend is looking forward to see Melonkuma. Hehe.
I contributed under a different name :)
MrNyantoast Wow, Thanks for contributing! Your boyfriend is looking forward to one of the best parts of Japan. MelonKuma is so amazing! -Kyde
Kyde and Eric Forgot to mention, but we'll be looking forward for your videos! Have a safe trip to Vietnam :)
Kyde and Eric Haha yea :)

John
TheAdventurousVlogger We edit with Sony Vegas 12.0 . It's a bit cumbersome but it gets the job done. -Eric
rodneys right i loved it too! someday ill have time to adventure there
"I took a train here, I didn't ride a horse" ...Somehow I will integrate that into a convo this week.
Kevin J Updates please! -Kyde
It makes total sense that Izu is the southern-most point to view the Pacific Ocean because from there heading toward Osaka, you are actually heading east, not south.
Well, you are heading south and east.
You're both lovely people and I love your videos, keep up!
xtupz Thank you so much! -Eric
Two quick questions for Kyde,
one, did you get a 4 year degree to teach English or a TEFL cert? And was the job hunt in japan for your initial move there very difficult? (i lied, three questions) do you guys have any advice for someone who wants to move to Japan as an English teacher?
estrohl Kyde has a 4 year degree which is necessary for the visa. Check out gaijinpot.com for jobs. Also have a look here: kydeanderic.com/FAQ/ -Eric
Thanks!
That was awesome! Thank you :D
MrSpencer8989 You're welcome! -Eric
I love your videos! best of wishes from Ecuador!!! here in my country we also have a 7 waterfall route, so maybe there is a real thing going there with the number 7
Daniela Romero We are on to something with the number 7 here! -Kyde
Love your videos!
You guys are just ridicously awesome. I think you guys are so perfect together. You make me feel like I am hanging with you when I watch your videos. I live in boring ass ohio and there isn't much todo in the winter uhg! so watching your videos really makes my day more manageable. eric reminds me of my brother a lot. I just want to come over there and hang with ya. oh kyde when you were showing us the map on the hike there was a you are here arrow LOL didnt know if you seen it cause you pointed about a inch down. anyhow please keep traveling if I weren't on disability I would donate to ya.

scot
Hi Scot, thanks so much! We are really happy you are enjoying the videos and are excited to make more for you! Don't worry about not being able to contribute, we will continue to make the videos free for everyone. And good eye, Kyde totally missed the you are here arrow, haha. -Eric
Kyde and Eric I laughed pretty hard about that arrow when I watched the video! -Kyde
The thing on the back of a boat is called a SCREW ;) Just FYI. Keep up the great videos!
+Brandon Dacosta Oh! Ok! thanks! -Eric
At 1:16:00. That yellow food. It's supposed to brake down the oil in your meal after you eat a very oily dinner.
ellie vacc Oh, very cool. -Eric
Just started watching you guys. You're so cool! XD I just have fun watching you interact on your travels.
Junpei Iori Awesome! -Kyde
We have poison sneaks call" mamushi" in main island .
"Habu" in Okinawa islands.
elkysunnykuri Scary! -Eric
This was a fun video :) I always like your guys' travel / adventure videos. That waterfall hike seemed Really cool. We didn't really get a sense of it in the video, but how long were you guys Actually hiking and stuff for. If I ever get to that part of Japan, that seems like something I would want to put on a list, but I don't know if I would be able to do like a 8 hr hike, just as an example. Thanks for the long video! Always look forward to these :) Look forward to the next adventure! :D
keandric 2 I want to say that we hiked for 6-8 hours. That's kind of usual for us. The hike was no hard at all. I would say that if you can walk, you can do this one! -Kyde
Hmm.. I saw lotsa stars and stuff too though.. But thanks :)
I watch your videos late at night which gives the experience a dreamlike quality. Did i dream it or did I see it? The little doll saying you are the ball lickers just cracked me up! An altered state of consciousness was behind that line.
visualdog Hahaha, sometimes I live things and wonder if it actually happened. -Eric
visualdog Yeah, that little doll called you a ball licker! Get him! -Kyde
Great vid as always!
Michael Zhu Thanks! -Kyde
I have to say I loved this video!
Pam Mulder Sweet! -Kyde
Happy Holidays Kyde&Eric! (from MA, usa)
Ultros Tako Thanks! Right back at 'cha! -Kyde
u guys are awesome!!!
+Richard Moore Thanks! Haha. -Eric
what the hell. I washed myself in a bucket before including hair and it takes like 15-20 minutes and isnt at all a problem. And my hair is longer than yours Kyde. Unless you meant all the watter you had was just one bucket. then you might need to be carefull. i guess what im asking is could you splash watter? if yes then the bucket is not an issue.
When you were at the coast, were there any interesting organisms in the water, or was the water barren? Love these videos, please keep them coming! ☆v☆
Hahaha, I'm sure there were, but our marine biology isn't super strong!
-Eric
tormentedzombieowl We saw water bugs. They looked like earwigs! -Kyde
What gods did you offend to only have 52K subs? You guys should be the king and queen of jvlogers.
to please UA-cams algorithm you have to tailor your videos in a way that makes them dramatically different than our videos hahaha.
Kyde and Eric you guys seriously have so much guts with the amount of spiders you encounter. how are you guys not freaked out???
Hahaha, Kyde does freak out sometime. Some day we will encounter a snake and I will freak about that though. -Eric
Lol random tooth brushing scene, looked like a great trip. :)
btw, do you guys still hang out with your friends, from back when Kayde started to work in Kumagaya? Or will do you guys plan to make more videos with friends you know in Japan from time to time? Just wondering! have a good day guys! Loved the video. Learned something about Wasabi, that was interesting on how they grow.
StudioSambodia Yeah, we still hang out with them. Had some over for Thanksgiving! Emma and Tommy moved back to Sweden, but they are coming to visit at the end of the month! Friends Forever! -Kyde
that's good to hear. I was curious because Tommy lived in Japan for a long time right? They seemed like a very nice couple.
StudioSambodia Yea, they are great! Tommy grew up in Japan. -Eric
I saw a recent vid about that very same wasabi cultivation area where a former salaryman quit his job to restore it because he wanted to revitalize the economy of the area and restore the production of wasabi in the area. Last year Quinlan, from Go North Japan, went on a wild wasabi hunting expedition in Tohoku and showed how the hunters foraged for wasabi (with, of course, ecologically sound methodology).
Second time watching this, still good. You 2 are so funny, the things you say, like "the hammock soiled it self" and people are gonna eat puzzels". I should just write everything up and make a book called; What Kyde and Eric said. :D Love your videos.
Milla Peltonen I would read that book! -Kyde
Milla Peltonen I totally agree! On each page it has like 1-3 quotes from a certain conversation. So many funny parts.
GeoAl09 Thank you, jeah, it would be a great book and funny. :)
Awesome video!!!
Persimmons sometimes don't have seeds/pits because they make the fruit harder to eat.
Also, if you take the seed/pit of a sweet persimmon, and plant it, any fruit that grows from that seed will most likely be sour, like Crab Apples. To get sweet persimmons, you have to use a clipping from another sweet persimmon tree, and get it to grow into another sapling.
TOO LONG DIDN'T READ
They don't use the seeds/pits to grow the trees, and the seeds are gross, so they just bred some of 'em to not have seeds.
Just the right size! Thanks for the info! -Kyde
marklenthecool That's really interesting! -Eric
